R. VI. Peterson - General Offices Hay 21, 1968 CE'A 1430 - Expand Aroclor at Anniston Item 801 - Revised Drum Pilling Plan B. D. Das R. 21. Kountz Vi. :,--i,2!ngdon. H. F. Taffee Anniston Plant 1 am enclosing a copy of Toledo scale's latest quotcttion. This elaborates on the two alternate schemes I showed you on my la3t visit. Either scheme fills four empty drums on a pallet as you requested. Here are answers to some of your questions! .i 1. They will guarantee 90% of the drums plus or minus scale graduation, 95% - 2, 99.9% 3 graduations for material like our Aroclors. 1 2. A scale graduation will be one wound with the scale dial capacity 1000 lbs. I had misunderstood this point. The scale bad is rate-d four full drums and pallets, but three filling steps are followed by a re-zero tare. Hence, 1000 lbs. dial is correct. 3. The accuracy of either 55 gallon drums or 5 gallon cans remains 1 lb. for 90%, and is a function of dial capa city, and flow rate. Vfith slower flow v/e could get 3/4 lb. accuracy. 4. The.scale bed is a 20 times lever system transducing to a load cell. 5. Either proposal would have the same dial head as the single lance proposal I left with you. Only a little accuracy is lost between a floor scale and lever system. 6. Note that this proposal calls for a double photo elec tric cutoff clutch, adjustable interceptor type. 7. Tie four spout filling alternate can be adjusted for either 55 gallon or 30 gallon drums (2^ inch height difference), but 5 gallon cans are out of consideration for this unit. 8. Ti e twin lance unit can be equipped with automatic drip catchers for $116 each lance. 0354000 TOWOLDMONOQ44650 K. F. Taffee 2 May 21, IdGO From i.y observations of your present filling ayston, fw.es from the hot Aroclora are a problem. I believe the sub merged lance filling would give the boat results here, even though area ventilation will be provided. I would not expect your present Manual filling of 5 gallon drums to better the 1 lb. accuracy Mentioned above. For all around flexibility and fvv.0 control, I prefer the twin lance system, with 5 gallon Aroclor cans filled thru the lance and 5 gallon pyranol cans filled Manually tV.ru the pull spout. I will develop layouts based on the idea of -.n indoor for); lift route to the empty drum pallet loading spot. May I have your comaenta on scale preferences. R. W.
